The Spectrum of Foundation Cheat Sheet
Foundation can be a complicated thing. I’ve probably tried 100 foundations in my life and am constantly trying new formulas. This handy guide will give you some insight into the main types of foundation from lightest to fullest coverage showing you my favorite foundations in each category.
Glow-Enchancing Moisturizer: Origins VitaZing SPF 15 $38 For a no-foundation look that still livens up your complexion, these types of products are your best bet. They have a self-adjusting tint that adds radiance without any coverage. They can also be used in conjunction with foundation for an added glow. Bonus points for SPF!
Beauty Balm: Too Faced Tinted Beauty Balm Multi-Benefit Skin Care Makeup $32 These multi-tasking creams offer light coverage, anti-oxidant benefits and moisturization. They are perfect for girls on the go with minimal skin imperfections. (For a full run-down on Beauty Balms, check out my article, “What the F#@* is a BB Cream” from Vagina’s Fall 2012 issue)
A reMoveable Yeast
An itchy, sore vagina is no good to anyone and can really take the fun out of just about everything. If you have never been diagnosed with a yeast infection you may want to go and see your friendly OB because the symptoms commonly associated with a yeast infection could be due to something more serious. But if you are only experiencing mild symptoms, or are quite familiar with your vagina’s response to a bumper crop of Candida albicans, you might want to try a few of these home remedies before you head over to the gyno.
